Toothpaste on a scratched screen? No — use it on the wall
White toothpaste on a dry cloth lifts pencil, crayon and scuff marks off a painted wall without taking the paint with it. Test one corner first on a dark wall. It does not fix scratched screens, whatever the internet says.

Burnt kadhai: hot water and a bit of patience
Do not attack a burnt pan with steel wool straight away. Pour in hot water with a spoon of salt or baking soda, leave it half an hour, and the black lifts with a wooden spatula. Scrubbing first only polishes it in.

Naya number save karte hi kaam likho
Naam ke saath 'plumber', 'Rohit ka bhai' ya 'gaadi wala' likh do. Chhe mahine baad naam se koi pehchan nahi aati.

One bag lives by the door
A folded cloth bag hanging on the door handle gets used. The same bag in a cupboard does not. That is the whole difference between owning cloth bags and actually using them.

Bill ki photo kheench lo
Thermal paper ka bill saal bhar mein mit jaata hai — aur aksar tab jab warranty claim karni ho. Kharidte hi photo kheench lo.
BijliPhone torch + water bottle = room lantern
Stand your phone torch-up under a transparent bottle full of water. The water scatters the beam into soft light that fills the whole room instead of one harsh spot. The classic power-cut move, and it still works better than most emergency lights.

फोन का बैकअप महीने में एक बार
महीने की पहली तारीख को फोटो और ज़रूरी कागज़ का बैकअप लो। फोन गिरने या चोरी होने का दिन वो दिन नहीं है जब आप यह शुरू करना चाहेंगे।

Ek jagah, ek kaam
Bill ek jagah, dawa ek jagah, kaagaz ek jagah. Ghar mein cheez isliye nahi milti kyunki uski koi jagah hi tay nahi hai.

दवा खत्म होने से हफ्ता पहले याद
जब दवा हफ्ते भर की बचे, उसी दिन फोन में रिमाइंडर लगा दो। खत्म होने के दिन दौड़ने की नौबत नहीं आती।

चश्मा साफ करने के लिए साबुन
चश्मे पर एक बूँद साबुन और गुनगुना पानी, फिर सूती कपड़े से सुखाओ। कमीज़ के कोने से पोंछना ही उसे खुरचता है।

Ek jeb, ek cheez
Phone baayein, chaabi daayein, purse peeche. Sunne mein mamooli lagta hai, par roz ka dhoondhna lagbhag khatam ho jaata hai — haath dimaag se pehle wahin jaata hai.

थैला दरवाज़े पर टाँगो
कपड़े का थैला अलमारी में रखा रह जाता है, दरवाज़े के हैंडल पर टँगा हुआ हमेशा साथ जाता है। थैला रखने और इस्तेमाल करने में यही फर्क है।

अलार्म कमरे के दूसरे कोने में
दूसरा अलार्म कमरे के उस पार रखो। बंद करने के लिए उठना पड़ेगा — और यही पूरा तरीका है। सिर के पास वाले फोन से कोई नहीं उठता।

Dawa ka dabba subah-shaam alag
Do alag dabbe — ek subah ka, ek raat ka. Khali dabba dekh ke pata chal jaata hai ki dawa li ya nahi. Yaad rakhne ki koshish se kaafi behtar.

बैग में हमेशा एक पेन
बैंक, अस्पताल और सरकारी दफ्तर — हर जगह फॉर्म है और किसी के पास चलता पेन नहीं। एक पेन बैग में रखो, हर बार लाइन में पूछने से बच जाओगे।

गाड़ी कहाँ खड़ी की — फोटो खींच लो
पार्किंग से निकलते वक्त खंभे के नंबर की एक फोटो ले लो। दो घंटे बाद बेसमेंट में सब कुछ एक जैसा दिखता है और भटकना खत्म।

Old spectacles stay in the drawer
The previous prescription is not as good as the current one, and it is infinitely better than nothing on the morning you sit on your glasses. Keep the last pair, throw the one before.

Write the date on the packet
Marker on the packet the day you open it — atta, oil, masala, anything decanted into a dabba. You stop guessing whether something has been open for three weeks or seven months.

Ask for the bill in the shop
No bill, no warranty, no exchange, no argument you can win. Photograph the ones that matter — thermal paper receipts fade to blank within a year, usually just before you need them.

Same pocket, every time
Phone left, keys right, wallet back. It sounds trivial and it eliminates the daily search almost entirely, because your hand goes there before your brain does.

Keep chutta in the bike's dashboard
A small stash of ten and twenty rupee notes for parking, toll and the tempo who has no change. UPI covers most of it now, but the day the network is down is the day you need this.
